Danny, The Polaroid 6500 is very common, and if you have the expansion board on your HB you have a built in connection. There are drivers on the MIT HandyBoard site. The units are available from Acroname and they also have a good fact sheet. http://el.www.media.mit.edu/projects/handy-board/software/sonar.html http://www.acroname.com/robotics/info/articles/sonar/sonar.html Before deciding on sonar for ranging you might take a look at using the GP2D02 IR ranging unit. Info at: http://www.acroname.com/robotics/parts/R19-IR02.html If you are only looking for obstacle detection/avoidance, then a simple IRPD unit will be easier and cheaper. Dennis Clark has one that works well at: http://www.verinet.com/~dlc/botlinks.htm Have fun, - Nick - Danny Gratton wrote: > > I'm designing a robot detection/obstacle avoidance system.
